Thx
You deserve a good thing to happen to you now 👌
Thanks
Congrats on 2m dude! it's been great to see your channel grow
Think the Keychron's going to be my next buy. Had my eye on it, and this really affirms the purchase.
It's been sold out everytime I've checked
It's a great board, especially for the price. With some mods the board performs well above it's price point.
I snagged one out and it’s great! The lighting is a bit confusing tho, still haven’t figure that out
Just got my keychron k6 in the mail and I love it so far. Keep in mind you have to spend extra on the hot-swappable version but I’m just getting into keyboards so I’m fine with my gateron browns
Akko MOD 007
Nice to see optimum tech
Yeah ikr insane stuff keep it up bro
Love the little colab with Ali! Two of my favorite youtubers in one vid is great! :)
the L80 was the product of when companies listened to their customers.
I got there new OG80, which is soooo sick!! Shine thru plastic within RGB is the best combination
streak65 lp too
Solid recommendations! I'll have to go check a few out
@@aaaspek4739 we dont care
@@xenrest thank you, for saying what we all wanted to say
Your videos are great
@@aaaspek4739 want a cookie?
waiting for your video about new Ducky One 3
These vids are always great to watch, but I really wish you'd review more full-size gaming keyboards. Almost everyone and their grandmother is talking about tiny miniscule keyboards, meanwhile I click on this video using a full-size, wanting to know what's the next big thing to get, maybe as a christmas present for myself, and every single one of the keyboards you reviewed are "mini" versions.
I understand there's a reason behind their popularity, and I'm not saying to exclude them out of a Top 5, but it would have been nice to have a section dedicated to Top 5 "regular" keyboards and Top 5 "mini" keyboards.
Thanks nonetheless for the great content!
Facts
i agree because i need my numpad and i dont want to use an "external" numpad
you should definitely try using numpad on your left side!
using the arrow keys or the mouse on your right and typing numbers with your left feels sooo right and fast.
that’s why I went “mini” and got a numpad to put on the left!
The ducky one 3 is available in a full size layout, and there are several on the honorable mentions list. He should probable include more full size keyboards, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
There's very many other reviews for bigger keywords or full side this is just want is big in everyone talking about
love to see Optimum Tech
I was just wondering last night when you would release this video GG
Seeing Ali from Optimum Tech in this video was very surprising, but a very welcomed surprise, I love it.
The tech justin y
Fire vid!! Especially the collab with Optimum Tech!
The homie Ali! Great to see Optimum tech collab with Randomfrank.Two of my favorite!
Congrats on 2M frank.
Could u do best gaming mice of 2021 please?
Still have my Alloy Origins Core thanks to last year's recommendation. Solid choice still
Samee
Dude! Same, Alloy Origins Core is a damn good board!
@@giancarlollorente5949 u have the aquas or reds?
@@viperfn4789 I rock the aquas, wanted to try tactiles, and love it.
Same! I'm really loving the options I have with the Ngenuity software and the packs I have downloaded through the web for some amazing RGB effects. The effects options may not be a good amount, but the possibilities of editing them together to make your ideal effect is endless.
What's different between Red and Silent Red Cherry MX?
I hope the Ducky One 3 will be available to pre-order/purchase in White or Black soon. I hate the colour choices available right now.
When will the 2022 version come?
I get the feeling that gaming keyboards will have more exciting futures in 2022! Hoping to see a few more major brand companies dive into hot swappable options. Ik EVGA has already done it, Corsair and Razer probably won't for a long time.

I built a GMMK pro in October as my first custom after watching a few of your videos, it is definitely an easy recommendation.
"Next up is the Razer blackwidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed phantom edition" Damn bro nice name
i’m gonna subscribe, you are the best youtuber when it comes to tech recomendations, no exaggeration. keep it up dude.
I am currently rocking the Hyper X Alloy Origin Core with the Aqua switches with modifications of adding dampening foam to the housing and taping the PCB to get more of a thoc sound out of the keys.
I have the same board, did you have problems separating the case?
It's a great keyboard and I loved the smoothness and tactility of the aqua switches, but the stabilizer rattle on the spacebar, shift, and enter keys killed it for me. I tried adding krytox 205g0 with a thin paintbrush to the metal parts of the stabilizers and it helped a bit, but without being able to take the keyboard apart, there was no way to do it properly. Other than that and the recessed USB-C port making it difficult to use custom cables, it is one of my favorite keyboards.
@@cyberflex11 a lot of the rattle comes from the stabiliser housing colliding with the plate, what i did was pull the stab housings out and put a piece of bandaid between the plate and stab housing and it made a huge difference
That was his top 1 last year lol
I've been using the Q1 for the past 2 months here at work (Phantom Browns), and lemme tell ya... As my first fully-custom mkb, the density of the board with its CNC shell and the slight give of the gasket mount, have made for an incredible typing experience. I have the CM SK631 at home, and previously thought it was a good enough keyboard as my very first mechanical keyboard. After having used the Q1... Yup, this is my new favourite and I can't go back! I'm patiently waiting for the Knobby version to come out to pick up one for home!
ty ur a life saver
Any idea which keycaps he used in that video for Q1?
@@i.a.57 for Frank's video? Or for the ShortCircuit video? If Frank, he probably received the Q1's stock keycaps which are nicely beveled and not too concaved for your fingertips!
I wish their keys had see-through letters, I love to be in the dark
WTF I was just watching the 2020 edition and hoping the 2021 comes soon. Thank you so much!
WOOOOO FINALLY LETS GO!
You guys have absolutely gorgeous production
I love the cower idea for the ASUS Falchion!
Please do top 5 gaming mouse as well for 2021!
Tomorrow!
You should do weekly tech under 50 videos
The cute tiny Falchion is C$200+. That's insane.
Is the Ducky One 2 mini still good for 2021
Here's hoping for top 5 headsets =)
I was just looking for a new keyboard and here you are posting a video an hour ago. Nice
What a coincidence, I bought the Asus falchion yesterday and I'm going to pick it up as this video dropped lol. Got mine for 130€
how are you satisfied after a month?
@@shitbringer pretty good, I keep lighting at 25% it's plenty and the battery lasts a long time. I don't have any complains besides the spacebar needs to be lubed, I use it 8hours+ a day and so far so good
Do you still use it? And if so, how is it after 6 months?
@@Thisgueyesguapo still awesome, very portable and the protective case is more useful than I thought, I take it work everyday and after programming on it for months it still holds strong, battery is still good, the only downside is the software, it's pretty mediocre
@@olaolaola167 what’s bad about the software, if you don’t mind me asking?
I really appreciate your production and personality man.
I would really appreciate if in your keyboard ad keycap reviews if you would mention if a particular board or set is available in ISO layout. That would really take your reviews to the next level for regions who don't use ANSI keyboards. Really hard to find good stuff for UK keyboards for example.
Sad Nordic boi over here... 🥺🙋♂️
I just bought a Corsair K70 TKL Champion Series keyboard but now I'm tempted to buy that Ducky One 3 Mini.
Really digging the music you used on this one
I see frank and Ali i immediately click Like
bro has been such a W youtuber for so long
what do u think of Corsair K70 Championship Edition?
Can you please make a video for gaming headsets
I don't think it would be a bad idea if you did these videos but for each Keyboard category (ie. 60%, 80%, full, etc.). The Razer Huntsman keyboard size is the size I personally need, so a dedicated top 5 for that size would be sick.
please review Koolertron One Handed Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Literally just went to the channel to see passed keyboard reviews and god blessed with this 😂😂 gotta love it RFP
Optimum tech is the man!!!
no epomaker skyloong SK61... still a great video
That was definitely a feature that I did not expect
I don't need a new keyboard but I always enjoy watching your videos :)
Finally, I made it in less than 30 comments! Anyway, I want to say great content man and I’m a great fan! Keep it up 👍
yooo i've been waiting for this thank you
First off I want to say your keyboard reviews are great and some of the best out there in my opinion. If you haven't already, could you please do a video about the best silent keyboards you can get. I know that going completely custom is the best way to achieve this, but I simply don't have the time nor the desire to stress over a keyboard like that. In a perfect world I would want a keyboard that you literally can't hear the keys being hit at all. But I know that is basically impossible. I hope this comment makes it's way to you and you decide to do a video on this. Keep up the amazing work!
Also on a side note, That razer keyboard was DAMN close to what I am looking for. Like if I can't get what I want in a prebuilt then I'll probably end up buying that keyboard instead.
Agree 1000%. As a family man you cant annoy your wife enough with clicki-li-clack sounds.
Really nice dude. I bought all these keyboards and they are all great. One thing I was not happy with was the ranking of the Falchion. The thing deserved a higher rating dude.
Thank you Frank this is perfect timing
YES I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FRANK!!!
great as always Frank!
Thanks for the video! I was undecided; now I'm going for the Keychron Q1.
what mousepad is the one with the wiggly lines? love ur channel btw
If I’m not mistaken it’s his own randomfrankp topographic mousepad. He made it with novelkeys. :)
ok got it, thx for the quick reply!
Can we have full size keyboards next?
Best thing about my birthday: its on black friday so you know what that means 😏
he's still underrated
but passion proteccs him
😇🙇🏻🤗
This is awesome can you do a monitor one for black Friday ?
hipyo techs video on no.3 really shows off everything with this kayboard
Nice pics! Would love to see a budget version of this list.
Could you check out the razer heroic bundle?
I tore the membrane of the z key on my deathstalker. This video comes in perfectly.
Big fan of Kailh blacks.....very smooth
Okay but where did you get that green gradient keycap set?
People here mostly go with the cheaper keyboard but with the same experience that u r giving with ur reviews (no offense). Looking forward towards cheapest keyboard comparison. Hope you can do that.
Love the Hoodie
Im going with the Backwidow Thx Frank
How about Steelseries Apex 7 TKL?
Thank you for this video
What is the white keycap (kanji) set you're using with the GMMK Pro? Looks so clean
The keychron Q1 is the only easy option i found on a custom keyboard with a iso French Layout.
For this reason i rated him slightly above the GMMK Pro.
I'm a very enthousiat and satisfied user and i will highly recommand it for every ISO layout users who want to go for a custom keyboard!
"wassup guys, im randomfrankp" this never gets old
Wow, was just wondering when this would come out, and turns out, I woke up early 😂
Why didn't you recomend any full sized keyboards...????
Exactly my question, I hate how gaming keyboards are going in this direction
I have been pretty happy with my Logi G915 TKL. But I love the custom keyboard look.
I have the G915 but I want PBT keys ... do you know if there's a way to switch them out? ... One grip is I do notice some latency from a wired keyboard, (said Capt. Obvious...ugh). And what's with the painted on symbols... :)
Awesome keyboard!! Definitely my favorite from all it's looks pretty slick too👍😎
Greta video!! Now where do we snag the hoodie at?? 🤨
Frank, we NEED that top 5 gaming headsets for 2021
Yea I have a ducky mecha mini and I love it. If there was a ducky mecha mini v3 perhaps even sf I would 100% cop it
Pre-ordered a Ducky One 3 Mini, can't wait to get my hands on it!
did you like the keyboard?
hwat are the keycaps that your using in the Q1?
Wish gmmk pro and the new Keychron was 65 percent
anyone else get to the sound test, look around your empty room, and suddenly realize life didn't turn out as you thought it would?
Optimum tech! Dope!!!!
8:42 the best spacebar sound I've ever heard
I’ve had the ducky one 2 mini for a couple years, I like these but what I have right now is just fine it works as well as it did when I first got it
Came in clutch tysm
I got my Blackwidow V3 Mini earlier this week before coming across this video and I'm loving it so far. A 65% was something I didn't know I needed so badly! This video doesn't even do the yellow switches justice either. They just sound so amazing. #4 on the year from an impulse buy ain't too shabby! Also got it on sale for $120 at Best Buy.
You still using it ?
@@wolfsiezfps Yup still love it, only thing with it is sometimes the wireless dongle connection gets interrupted so if I'm gaming I'll use it wired to take away that risk.
@@raaags338 I hope they make a Mercury edition, what switches are you using ?
How does this man manage to drop every video at the perfect time
built my GMMKpro with your Midnight Jade switches and love it. Even had one of my friends copy my build, so thanks for the dope switches.
Is there any delay on yours? I just ordered one and I am hearing that they have input delay.
@@ericgoesham535 not at all, been using it for about a month and loving it
@@Honorablediscord2 I am so glad to hear. It takes forever to deliver 😩
I’m hoping to buy a gmmk pro soon. What are soon good linear switches for typing and gaming to use with it?
How heavy are Kailh box blacks?
i wish you drop all the top 5 before black friday :/
I got the Keychron Q1 with phantom brown switches. No regrets.
Awesome video! Great work
It would be awesome if you would review one of the new wooting keyboards like the 60HE
those yellow razer switches sound much nicer than the green
